About This Track

A call-and-response between Drake and Kanye West built over Earth, Wind & Fire's 1974 track 'Devotion', which surfaces in full at the song's close. The pair trade verses on upward mobility and hard-won success, Kanye chronicling the arc from repossessed cars and empty venues to certified status, Drake folding in caution about the confrontation that trails visibility. The chorus refrain stays simple and declarative.

Released as the fifth single from 'More Life' in June 2017, 'Glow' sits within a mixtape that spans R&B, dancehall, grime, trap and Afrobeats. The collaboration arrived at a moment when rumours of a full Drake-Kanye project were circulating, making the pairing here feel both anticipated and slightly inconclusive. Drake's vocal tone in the sung sections leans towards an unusual register that divides opinion; Kanye's contributions lean on the kind of motivational rhetoric that defined his earlier work, though the execution feels more workmanlike than inspired.

"Glow" is a track by Drake, from the album More Life, released 18th March 2017. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Drake.

Lyrics

Glow

[Chorus: Kanye West]

Watch out for me, I'm bound to glow

You better watch out for me, I'm bound to glow

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

Your boy all glowed up

Every time we touch down, bet it go up

'Member doin' shows, ain't nobody show up

Pour your heart out, ain't nobody show love

They used to laugh when my whip was on the tow truck

'Til me and bein' broke finally broke up

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Time to shake the dice, time to change the li-i-ight

No more 9 to 5, autopilot dri-i-ive

Used to work the fries, now we supersi-i-ize

We go suit and tie, we gon' touch the sky-y-y

We so certified, we so certifi-i-ied

Fuck you haters still, that's an F-Y-I-I-I

They gon' bang this here all summerti-i-ime

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Interlude: Kanye West]

Yeah, yeah

Turn me way up, my voice is really low

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay

[Verse 3: Kanye West & Drake]

(Watch out) Watch out

Why, nigga? (The cops out) Cops out

(It's all love when I ride top down) Top down

I started out way down low

Started from the bottom, now we here now

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Verse 4: Kanye West]

We about to get the whole nine

The whole nine, we just landed on a gold mine

We the new Abu Dhabi, this is our time

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Verse 5: Drake]

I just take the dreams I've been sold

And sell 'em for more, you already know

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Verse 6: Kanye West]

Hope I deal with karma 'fore my son do

'Cause I be drivin' 'round this bih with no sunroof

Man, the glow got me feelin' like I'm gunproof

[Chorus: Drake]

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

[Verse 7: Drake]

I still have my guard up

Blame this thing I'm part of

Tryin' to avoid more confrontation

I just gotta try harder

Takin' the time to clear my mind

'Cause soon as I'm able to let that go

[Chorus: Kanye West]

Watch out for me, I'm bound to glow

[Outro: Earth, Wind & Fire]

Through devotion

Blessed are the children

We love y'all too!

We believe if there's anything y'all, you wanna do in life

You need devotion

Can I hear right on?

Through devotion

Blessed are the children

We live for it

Clap your hands this evening

Come on, y'all

I said it's alright

Clap your hands this evening

Come on, y'all
